Question 1

I've been experiencing shortness of breath lately. I went to see a doctor, and they did a chest X-ray which came back clear, and the doctor also did a PFT, mentioning it wasn't too bad. But I still feel like I can't catch my breath, and it's really worrying me. I'm wondering if this could all just be in my head or if there's something else going on. What do you think?

Considerations for Angioplasty in an 87-Year-Old Grandma

_Procedure Risks and Benefits_

1. *Risks*: Angioplasty carries risks, especially in elderly patients, such as bleeding, kidney damage, and stroke.
2. *Benefits*: Successful angioplasty can improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life.

_Factors to Consider_

1. *Age and frailty*: At 87, your grandma's age and potential frailty may increase the risks associated with angioplasty.
2. *Weakened heart*: Her heart's reduced function may impact her ability to tolerate the procedure.
3. *Successful treatment of pulmonary edema*: The fact that lasix treatment was successful is a positive indicator.

_Recommended Approach_

1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Discuss the risks and benefits of angioplasty with a cardiologist, considering your grandma's specific condition and medical history.
2. *Assess overall health*: Evaluate her overall health, including her kidney function, bleeding risk, and ability to tolerate the procedure.
3. *Consider alternative options*: If angioplasty is deemed too risky, discuss alternative treatments, such as medication or cardiac rehabilitation.
